Great Ocean Road small-group full-day tour



Departing Melbourne, you'll make your way down towards the Surf Coast, with its enchanting beachside towns and powerful swells. Just outside the town of Torquay, you'll stop at the beach to enjoy a complimentary morning tea. Departing Torquay you set out along the Great Ocean Road itself, as an experienced driver-guide provides informative commentary about the road's history and its place in Australian folklore.

The scenic journey along the Great Ocean Road is a highlight in itself, as you absorb some truly amazing coastal scenery and make plenty of scenic stops, including a photo opportunity at the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch. At the township of Kennett River, look for koalas and colorful local birdlife in the native habitat. After a lunch break in Apollo Bay, you'll head away from the ocean and into the rainforest, where you'll enjoy a stroll at Maits Rest.

Then it's onwards to the world-famous Twelve Apostles to take in unforgettable views of his stunning coastline. Here you'll have the opportunity for an optional helicopter flight. For those of you who don't take to the air, a further stop is possible at Gibsons Steps for beach-level views of two of the Twelve Apostles. Just down the road is Loch Ard Gorge where your guide will recount the legend of the Loch Ard, bringing the gorge to life in a way you never imagined. Then, a dinner stop is made on the way back to Melbourne.
